St. Stephen The Martyr School vs. St. Vincent De Paul School

St. Stephen the Martyr School is committed to promoting academic excellence, leading students in developing their God-given talents, and challenging these students to live the teachings of Jesus Christ as revealed through the Roman Catholic Church.

The philosophy of Catholic education takes into consideration the total personality of the student in the imparting of knowledge.

There is unity of purpose springing from the students oneness.

The school is responsible for contributing to the total development of each student in terms of his origin, nature, and destiny.

St Stephen the Martyr School exists as a unit of the Mystical Body of Christ and as an institution of society.

As such, its function is two-fold. First, it strives always to help the student grow in Christian love of God and all creatures, and secondly, it helps students in their search to find their full human potential.

St Vincent De Paul Catholic Elementary School is home to nearly 800 students, K-8, from the St.

Vincent de Paul parish in northwest Omaha, Nebraska. The parish was founded in 1991 and was named in honor of a French cleric who devoted his life to serving the poor.

St. Vincent de Paul school strives to imitate the spirit of our patron in prayer, worship and service to those in need.

Our dedicated staff of teachers has an average of more than 10 years teaching experience, with many holding advanced degrees.

Two teachers work with students who have special learning needs, and a high ability teacher works with students who excel beyond the regular curriculum.

Our curriculum includes teachers of art, Spanish, technology, PE and music.

The learning environment is further enhanced by a variety of extracurricular activities including Math Counts, speech team, book club, the Awesome Angels and Eagle's Wings choirs, Destination Imagination, musicals, plays and a variety of intramural and interscholastic sports.

Choosing a Catholic education provides a strong Christian foundation to help form the values and high ethical standards that your child will live by for the rest of his or her life.

We believe that no child should be denied the opportunity to receive a Catholic grade school education as a result of unbearable financial burden to the family.
